A groan left my lips as I forced myself to sit up on the bed.

I looked up at the half full IV bag passing some drip into my veins and sighed.

I hate hospitals. I'd rather be at home than in a place that reminds me of my past.

A memory flashed before my eyes.

I was thirteen, gripping my broken, bleeding wrist as my father brought me to Healer Kwan to get treated. My wrist was so badly broken that the edges of the bones jutted out like sharp objects in opposite directions. When someone asked me what happened, I lied. I told them some random bullshit about falling from a treehouse. "Well, it wasn't a lie, per se.

I did fall from a treehouse, but it was my father who pushed me. He had exiled Miro without food and water for three days and from the second day; I had gone to sneak him food but somehow, on the third day, my father caught me and out of anger, he had pushed me down from high up.

Of course, I couldn't tell anyone that. My father was a reputable man who just seemed to have sons that got in too much trouble and always ended up wounding themselves. Everyone thought our abuse was a phase, and it's why I hate hospitals so much because deep down, I just know that this hospital staff knew what our father was doing to us but chose to turn a blind eye.

I shook my head, blinking back to the present day.

Grabbing hold of the IV pole, I tried to stand, but the pain in my side wouldn't let me. Wincing, I looked down at my stomach area, wrapped in white gaute to cover my injury. When I tried to move my arm around, a sharp pain stabbed my lungs, causing me to wince Just then, I heard a knock on the door and shortly after Healer Kwan walked in followed by someone I wasn't expecting to see. My brother.

I faced the Healer. "I told you not to call anyone."

"He didn't." Miro said, "I was already here when I found out."

Satisfied, I signaled to the Healer that he was dismissed and the sixty something year old man couldn't be more eager to leave. The moment we were left alone, I glanced at my brother, wondering why he was in my ward. "What do you want?" "Nothing" He folded his arms across his chest. "What happened?"

From his body language, I could tell that he was on edge, a subtle side effect of the diet Dad put him on but what can I say. He won't listen.

I went on a mission to replace Viktor." I began, "We found one of his hideouts, and raided the place. Unfortunately, he escaped but we were able to capture his men and rescue some girls they kidnapped."

Miro's brows furrowed "What were they doing with the girls?"

"Well, the girls did say they were set to be transported somewhere but they didn't know where. I also remember when Chehra mentioned that Ryn was supposed to disappear like the others. I just never paid attention to that until now. I think something big is going on that we don't know about and I am afraid it will catch us unaware if we are not careful" 83%1

While Miro pondered on my words, I eased to my feet and tried to stand again, but the first step I took had me nearly falling. In a flash, Miro's strong hands were holding me up and guiding me back to the bed.

"Damn, you're heavy." He murmured as he helped me sit. "How did you get this hurt this bad?"

I let out a heavy breath and remembered how the whole thing wen had him but..." I paused, shaking my head slowly in annoyance. "But what??" Miro asked.

"I had a one on one with Viktor and I could have

I remembered winning against Viktor in a one-on-one fight, then I began to fall out of breath. When I felt pain on my sides and bruises on my knee for no reason, I instantly knew Ryn had started her test. I tried to fight ignoring the psychological pains she was experiencing but it threw me off and Viktor gained the upper hand, clawing deep across my stomach.

"Ahhh, I see." Miro stated, his green eyes alight with amusement. "Let me guess. You were fighting Viktor at the same time Ryn was having her simulation test. Am I correct?"

I answered with a glare and my brother laughed.

Annoyed to the core, I su
